Total Maximum Daily Loads
Louisiana and USEPA have completed more than 670 TMDLs since 1998 undercourtordered consent decree. Approximately 288 of these relate directly or indirectly to nutrient impairments.
![Page 9: Monitoring Activities To Support Mississippi River Basin ... · 11 Monitoring and Evaluation Three-Tiered Approach: • Field Scale • Small Watershed Scale (12-digit HUC) • Large](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050515/5f9f464636115f0a3b12e22f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Nonpoint Source Load Reductions
TMDLs that have been completed indicate that from 15-100% of the pollutant load is from nonpoint sources of pollution.

Louisiana Nutrient Reduction Strategy
![Page 32: Monitoring Activities To Support Mississippi River Basin ... · 11 Monitoring and Evaluation Three-Tiered Approach: • Field Scale • Small Watershed Scale (12-digit HUC) • Large](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050515/5f9f464636115f0a3b12e22f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Why A Nutrient Reduction Strategy?
• Hypoxic Waters in Gulf of Mexico on Coast of Louisiana;
• Many Inland Rivers and Bayous also have Low Oxygen Problems;
• Want to Partner with Upriver States to Reduce their Nutrient inputs to Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico.
